You have the best of both worlds. When I was about 6, we lived on a lot that had over 100 pine trees. My brother and I had to rake all the needles. No fun. Now I have almost no trees. I need a happy medium. Life is like that.Cheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-312712623679543812017-03-23T07:53:40.469-04:002017-03-23T07:53:40.469-04:00Congrats on your new cabin!

Maybe next time the delivery truck can't make it up the driveway, at least have them offload it onto your trailer for you. <br /><br />Also, name the tree Virginia.....or Maude comes to mind for some reason!

It had been damaged as a tornado started its decent in 2006. Now the big tree the grands played under is probably going to be removed because of the danger of coming down during a storm. I understand. I will be taking some trees down in the future because Hughes Net will need the air space. Luckily mine will be cedars who suck up the water. Not all because the wildlife need a place to hide & nest.

Because they were in danger of falling on our cottage, we had about 7 removed last fall and need more removed now. We have more trees than we need here and they just keep popping up. I lived in Virginia and it's a jungle there, people have no clue. Just be careful planting any bamboo or you will live to regret it, we had to fight it all the time when we lived there. I do wish people would just be kind and not voice their thoughts all the time, I can certainly live without it and I know you can too.Hedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358296439526670399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-17340169575924323852017-03-22T09:55:25.646-04:002017-03-22T09:55:25.646-04:00Bonnie, just be brave and sing your heart out with...Bonnie, just be brave and sing your heart out with "lalalala". I can't believe the number of people that think their negative attitude opinions are needed or wanted on your beautiful, joyful blog. Your blog is my part of my early morning sunshine each day along with the quotes & pictures. I would just tell the "negative Nellies" to go take a hike, and hug their own trees, and keep their mouths shut here.

My hubby told me he wanted to build a shed in our backyard for a workshop. We got tax money back, so I said sure. I was thinking it would be the size of a shed. No, no, no! It is going to be 20' x 16'with a garage door and windows! Now in my mind, if it has a garage door , its a garage, right? Nooo, its his"workshop"! Why do you need a garage door then? Well, to be able to get the larger items he plans to make out easier. Makes sense I guess, but our yard is only 188' with a house and a shed already on it and lots of trees. Maybe next year at tax time, I'll build a sewing studio the same size with a sun roof and surrounded with windows!I am a quilter after all and we must have lots of light! Why do we need a yard with grass anyway? At least there won't be as much grass to mow! Enjoy your wonderful new getaway! Thanks for all your wonderful quotes.

He purposely put faces on several of his trees for their little granddaughter to follow her tree Friends in their annual Easter Egg Hunt. So picture a wee little girl, eyes bright, cheeks glowing with health, moving from one tree friend to another, each delivering a hint as to where the final Easter treasure would be. She's now 8 and still looks forward to seeing her tree Friends at Grandma & Grandpa's. Making memories...That's what is all about.

What helped me to stop doing this is realizing how annoying it is when people do it to me! My mother, especially, will lecture me on MY feelings and MY needs--the other day, she was arguing with me about what I felt, and I just told her to stop because I AM THE EXPERT ON MY OWN LIFE!<br /><br />We should trust people a little bit more. If they're not asking for advice and not about to do something like driving over a cliff, trust that they know what's best for them. Trust that they've already tried that super-obvious thing we were about to suggest, and maybe not suggest it. ;)STHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093029062592839253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-55940760402743880282017-03-21T16:56:39.355-04:002017-03-21T16:56:39.355-04:00Love all the comments - so different than FB!
